Chesapeake Gold Corp. (TSXV: CKG) (OTCQX: CHPGF) (“Chesapeake” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/chesapeake-gold-corp/) is pleased to announce it has completed a vertical short-form amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) effective January 1, 2024 with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, American Gold Capital Corporation (“American Gold”). Pursuant to the Amalgamation, the resulting amalgamated company has adopted the name “Chesapeake Gold Corp.”, maintained the same Articles and management as the Company, issued no securities, the CUSIP for the common shares of the Company remains the same and the symbol “CKG” on the TSX Venture Exchange and the symbol “CHPGF” on the OTCQX remain unchanged.
Prior to completion of the Amalgamation, the Company had effected the continuance of Metates Resources Ltd. (formerly Metates Mining Enterprises LLC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Gold (“Metates Resources”), from Delaware to British Columbia. Following completion of the Amalgamation, the Company now holds Metates Resources directly, which in turn holds the shares of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries without an intervening US subsidiary. This provides for a more streamlined corporate structure in which the Company also holds directly its 68% shareholding in its partially-owned subsidiary, Gunpoint Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: GUN).
The Company has filed the Certificate of Amalgamation evidencing the completion of the Amalgamation on SEDAR+, which is publicly available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
